O.J. Simpson’s lawyer reveals his final resting place nearly five months after his death

In an update shared by O.J. Simpson ’s lawyer, the football player’s final resting place has been revealed.

It’s been nearly five months since Simpson died. Two weeks following his death, it was learned that Simpson died following a metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis.

In a statement shared by his family on X , formerly known as Twitter, the Simpsons shared that he was “surrounded by his children and grandchildren” and asked for “privacy and grace.”

Now, Simpson’s lawyer Malcolm LaVergne told TMZ that Simpson was cremated following his death and that his ashes were turned into pieces of jewelry. That jewelry was then divided up among his four children: Arnelle, Jason, Sydney and Justin.

TMZ reports Simpson’s kids signed off on having their father’s ashes turned into jewelry. LaVergne revealed the entire process cost $4,243.06.

It’s unclear if the initial idea to turn Simpson’s ashes into jewelry was Simpson’s or someone else’s.

This update comes a month after Ron Goldman’s father filed a creditor’s claim against Simpson’s estate seeking $117 million, NBC reported at the time.

Although acquitted of killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman, Simpson was later found responsible for their deaths by a civil jury and ordered to pay millions in damages in 1997, NBC News reported.

“After July 25, 2024, the Claim Amount will accrue interest at the daily rate of $26,402.3630 until paid,” the document stated, according to NBC.

California courts renewed the 1997 judgment three times, and Simpson was ordered to pay the Goldman family $96.3 million in 2022, NBC reported. That amount has since accrued $20.6 million in interest.

NBC News reports that Fred Goldman and Sharon Rufo have only received “a little” of the money owned to them.

Shortly after the creditor’s claim was filed, the LA Times reported that a Nevada probate judge agreed “to a proposal by legal representatives of Simpson’s estate to auction ’unique and high-profile’ personal property,” in order to pay the restitution owed.

Following Simpson’s death, Fred Goldman told NBC News that the only thing he has to say about it “is it’s just further reminder of Ron being gone all these years. It’s no great loss to the world. It’s a further reminder of Ron’s being gone.”
